AR5007EG Product Overview
Introducing the Atheros AR5007EG, our second generation
single-chip IEEE 802.11b/g WLAN solution with support
for PCI Express. Atheros AR5007EG integrates a complete
WLAN solution-media access controller (MAC), baseband
processor, and a high-performance 2.4-GHz radio in a low
cost digital CMOS design.
With the highest level of integration, the AR5007EG
enables the entire WLAN solution to fit on a
single-sided Mini Card or ExpressCard design, creating
the ideal choice for embedded and aftermarket WLAN
solutions for personal computers. This design exploits
the highly integrated ability of the PCI Express bus
architecture to support high-performance computing with
up to 2.5-gigabit-per-second transmit and receive rates
– a 150 percent improvement over the existing PCI
architecture.
AR5007EG Solution Highlights
